CVE-2026-121396

FreeRDP before version 3.21.0 has a vulnerability in FastGlyph parsing where data length is not validated against the minimum size implied by cx/cy. A malicious server can trigger a client-side global buffer overflow, causing a crash (DoS).

FreeRDP is a free implementation of the Remote Desktop Protocol. Prior to 3.20.1, a race in the serial channel IRP thread tracking allows a heap use‑after‑free when one thread removes an entry from serial->IrpThreads while another reads it. This vulnerability is fixed in 3.20.1.

FreeRDP before 1.1.0-beta+2013071101 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and application crash) by disconnecting before authentication has finished.

FreeRDP before 1.1.0-beta1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via NULL pointer dereference, leading to application crash.

Multiple integer overflows in client/X11/xf_graphics.c in FreeRDP allow remote attackers to have an unspecified impact via the width and height to the xf_Pointer_New or xf_Bitmap_Decompress function, which causes an incorrect amount of memory to be allocated.

FreeRDP before 3.32.2 has a use-after-free in the client's rdpgfx dynamic virtual channel: a duplicate-name channel with a new ChannelId overwrites the listener's single callback slot, which rdpgfx_on_close frees without clearing. A malicious RDP server can open and close such a channel, then send a PDU on the original channel to crash the client or potentially execute code.

FreeRDP before 3.32.2 has an out-of-bounds write in the proxy because rdp_read_bitmap_cache_v2_capability_set rejects only numCellCaches values above 5, yet the bitmap cache v2 cell array is later accessed at fixed indices 0 through 4. A client connecting to the proxy can declare fewer than five cell caches in its Confirm Active, causing heap corruption, heap data leakage to the backend, or a crash.

FreeRDP server versions before 3.31.0 contain a protocol negotiation bypass vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to establish RDSTLS connections despite server policy disabling them. Attackers can send incompatible protocol requests, receive negotiation failures, then complete TLS handshake and enter RDSTLS to bypass pre-authentication transport restrictions.

In FreeRDP before 3.28.0, freerdp_dsp_decode_opus calls Stream_EnsureRemainingCapacity on the context buffer even though opus_decode writes to the caller-supplied stream. A malicious RDP server negotiating WAVE_FORMAT_OPUS can cause large decoded frames to be written beyond the allocated buffer, leading to client heap corruption, crash, and potential code execution.

In FreeRDP before 3.27.0, rpc_client_recv_fragment ensures response reassembly stream capacity using only the server-declared alloc_hint rather than the actual StubLength. A malicious TS Gateway can send a response with a small alloc_hint and a much larger frag_length, causing a buffer overflow in the pdu->s buffer. This can crash the client and may permit code execution.
